It will have several fairly large towers, and a huge spire that will be the worlds tallest building.

Bah. "Life-affirming" gardens? Sounds like a hippie thing.The top floors will be filled with life-affirming indoor gardens.
Well, the main tower looks kinda dumb. The rest isn't too bad. At least if my basic assumption that the towers won't look like huge crystals and that's just the model is correct.

Well, it will be nice, and appropriately monumental.
But glass and steel architecture doesn't do much for me, I had seen some other designs that would haven't been quite so greenhouse-ish.
Reading about leaving the foundation walls on display got a more emotional response than I would have expected, it still gets to me. Everytime I see a building demolished I shudder.
I was watching "Battle in Outer Space" the other day, a 1960 Japanese sci-fi "classic", two alien ships crashed into uptown Manhattan and made me flinch.
And that "life-afirming gardens" line really annoyed me, too.

I don't mind so much the garden in and of itself, just calling it "life-affirming" irked me. It seems too much like dwelling on what happened there, instead of rebuilding and moving on.
